The Jukebox of My Mind

Sometime last year I became consciously aware that I wake up with a song in my head every single morning . I thought it would be an interesting exercise to document each song for an entire year and then make Spotify playlists for each month.  Well, starting back on January 1, I started to do just that.  The subconscious is an odd thing and it has been really interesting seeing seeing what my mind comes up with every morning. Sometimes it is a song or artist I have been listening to recently, sometimes it a band or song that I haven't thought of in years. Below are the first 6 playlist for the year, but I thought I'd include some stats about the year so far as well: Number of Days: 182 Total Number of Songs: 178 Number of Repeated Songs: 4 Total Number of Artists: 116 Most Frequent Artist: Pearl Jam (s hocking, I know)  / 18x w/ only one song repeated   So enjoy a glimpse into the jukebox of my brain. Maybe you'll be reminded of some songs you haven't thought
